Books:

I love to read, I have trouble walking anywhere near a bookshop without wanting to spend too much money, I do not have a favorite genre or author, it is too difficult to choose! if I am in an easy readin kinda mood then I like a bit of fantasy, for a while it was anne rice and then I moved on to authors such as Phillip Pullman and Garth Nix, but from time to time I need to excersise my brain a little more and so will turn to the likes of Kerouac, Burroughs, Kundera, Ginsberg, Kafka and if I am feeling the need for a real challenge James Joyce. I do read nice normal bestsellers too though :) and very good some of them are too! I love a good story, Film, music, photography, art or books they are all about telling a story and when it is well done there is nothing better.

Heroes:

anyone trying to make their life and the lives of others that little bit better and who show consideration for the world in which they live. people who are brave enough be who they really are.
